Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Psychology
  • Health Sciences

Background:

  • Fear of progression (FOP) significantly impacts breast cancer patients' adjustment to illness.
  • Understanding the psychological factors influencing FOP is crucial for improving patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the moderating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between illness perception (IP) and FOP among breast cancer patients.
  • To examine whether depressive symptoms influence the moderating effect of self-efficacy on the IP-FOP link.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 245 breast cancer patients in Korea.
  • Data were collected using the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), FOP short form, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and CES-D.

Main Results:

  • Self-efficacy moderated the impact of perceived chronic timeline and emotional impact of illness on FOP.
  • The moderating effect of self-efficacy on BIPQ timeline and emotions concerning FOP was dependent on the level of depressive symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Illness perception, self-efficacy, and depressive symptoms are key factors in FOP among breast cancer patients.
  • Interventions aimed at enhancing self-efficacy and managing depressive symptoms are recommended to mitigate the negative effects of IP on FOP.
